On Friday February 13th of 2009 we officialy became a family of 4! Lillian Faith Wendler was born at 1:36 PM ET. She came into the world at 8lbs. 8oz. and as you’ll see from some of the pics to follow some chunky cheeks and legs!
This has been a long, long journey getting Lily to come into this world. She is our second IVF success story and even though it was successful there is a ton of stress involved with that whole process. From the financial committment to just praying that it will work it can put a lo of strain on a relationship. I think through it all Cara and I have only grown closer. Once we got pregnant with Lily we continued to have our fair share of complications. Cara, of course, carried the large, large majority of that burden as well. Such a strong woman and she made that clear throughout this trying pregnancy.
Now that we’re finally through all of that crazyiness and Lily is finally here the new adventure of raising two little girls begins. I know I speak for both Cara and I way I say it’s the most amazing thing in the world seeing Josie and Lily together. Josie is so interested in her new baby sister. She is always trying to give her things that Lily can’t quite handle yet like books and toys and whatever she can find to put in Lily’s face 
This is going to be a most interesting and enjoyable journey!
As I write this all three of my ladies are resting peacefully, if you can beleive that, on day four of Lily’s life. I should probably be resting myself but I needed unload this joy somewhere I know there are many, many challenges ahead and these little peaceful times will be few and far between but this is one of the coolest things I’ve ever experienced. Much more to come in the days and weeks and months and years of these two girls lives!!
Here are a few sample pics from delivery day and the weekend. The rest can be seen in this Facebook album.
